• Green building design helps people to increase
  the efficiency of building usage by reducing the
  architectural impacts on human health and the
  environment over the entire life cycle of the
  building.

• Save More Energy
• Implementing green building designs reduces
  operating costs and improves occupant
  productivity. Green building designs results in
  net zero energy buildings and this acts as a way
  to significantly reduce our dependence on fossil
  fuel-derived energy.

• Protects and Conserves Water
• Nowadays fresh water is becoming a very scarce
  resource and the effort to bring drinkable water
  to our household faucets consumes enormous energy
  resources in pumping, transport, and treatment.
  Sustainable building uses water efficiently, and
  reuse or recycle water for on-site use, whenever
  possible.
